There are relatively few suppliers of figures specifically for S Scale Railway modelling but there are a large number of suppliers of 25 and 28mm wargame figures. Some of these can be used directly whilst others may need a little modification. The average modern male is about 5'-8" tall (27mm in S Scale) with the average female about 5'-3" (25mm in S Scale). In the eighteenth century people were 2-3 inches shorter because of poorer diets. Hence we are looking for figures roughly 24-28mm tall to the top of the head. See Figures page for details.

Lledo Vanguards did a small range of S Scale British Lorries (Ford Thames Trader, Leyland Comet, Bedford S, Karrier, Commer) with a variety of bodies. They can still be found cheaply secondhand via Ebay. Click here for a search for these on Ebay.

ALPS printers: Printers that you can use to make your own decals (no longer made).

Birmingham Central Library houses the Metro-Cammell collection of drawings and photographs of carriages and wagons built by Metropolitan and its constituent companies. A3 size copies of the drawings are readily available and cheap.

S_Scale_List. This group is for discussion of matters relating to S Scale (1:64) railway modelling of prototypes within the "British Isles", as well as those modelling overseas railways such as in Australia, New Zealand, Africa, North and South America and mainland Europe. It is independent of the S Scale Model Railway Society but most of the members of this group are also members of the SSMRS.

Sn2 Trains This list discusses topics which are specifically related to Sn2 modeling; that is, either the use of 10.5 mm or 9mm gauge track in S scale to replicate models of two-foot gauge prototypes (mostly US).

Sn3 Model Railroading 3 foot narrow gauge railroads, both real and 1:64 scale, are the main focus. Also included are info about products, 'how-to', mutual help and general camaraderie.

NWNG Sn3. Sn3 Model railroading mostly in NW of USA. Focused on S narrow gauge, but all are welcome.

Proto:64 Special Interest Group Proto:64 is S scale modeling using finer standards for track work and wheelsets. (This group focusses on the US equivalent of British S Scale standards). The most obvious difference between Proto 64 standards and NASG S ?scale? standards are the width of the wheels and the narrower flangeways.
